To be fair: most of metacard is coded in metatalk; it is a boot-strapped language, much like many of the TILs (threaded interpreted languages) of yesteryears (e.g., forth, apl). On Thursday, November 14, 2002, at 10:01 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | MC, as well, is also coded in C, so in

Now that I've hopefully dug well into the structure of an OSX app... That still leaves the issue of this menu it creates. Now it should create a menu for my app, but does it automatically put anything into it? I already have a File menu to address Save, Quit, etc. And the Quit menuItem goes

Creating a Metacard menu?

2002-11-14 Thread Shari
Has anyone tried creating a menu with their app name? Would it still insert the menu? If I changed the File menu to the name of my app as listed in the plist file, since my File menu has all the Quit, Save, options in it, would it still create another instance of this menu? Just trying to

2002-11-14 Thread Karl Becker
